This formula has been working fine until we hit November, whereby the month also contains "No" so the formula is no longer working properly:
MC–01 Nov 17–YES
MC–01 Nov 17–NO
I need to revise the conditional format formula so it is case sensitive, so it only detects 'NO' in all capital letters:
=ISNUMBER(SEARCH("*NO*",$F2)) 'this formula needs to be case sensitive, detecting only 'NO' and not 'No'

Thanks to you both for responding so quickly with solutions! While Rob's solution worked for this specific instance, I also appreciated the versatility of Jim's formula in case the format in Column F changes so that 'NO' and 'YES' are no longer at the end of the string (a very likely scenario in the near future, actually), so thought it best to share the points. Hope that works for everyone! :-)
Best regards,
